Drawing from a variety of influences (post punk, alternative, britpop), The Hundred Days band’s sound has been compared to The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen and Radiohead as well as contemporary rockers Franz Ferdinand, The Bravery and The Killers.

(Black Dream re-release party, Desdemona video premiere!)
Dangermaker is a bit dark and mysterious at times, yet also pervasively upbeat, catchy and fun, filled with “lots of energy, cool, dark, angular melodies†(David Bash of IPO). Channeling 70′s Bowie, The Clash & The Stooges, and The Black Keys, The Killers & Interpol has led to recent showcases at SXSW and CMJ. The Owl Mag names Dangermaker “One of my top 5 favorite Indie bands in the Bay Areaâ€.
BANG BANG

Bang Bang is a female indie-rock duo formed in San Francisco in 2010. With a raw, lo-fi rock sound and gutsy vocals, the twosome has a unique stopping power. Shawn Strub fronted the widely praised 40th Day, and Mandy Dietz spent time as lead singer for the East Coast-based band Glory Box. When the two met, Mandy took up the drums to provide the rhythmic backbone to Shawn’s big voice and gritty guitar sounds.
